Are you able to get into the windows install screen where you select which drive you want to install windows on? it's the advanced drive setup screen. I believe you're given a choice over upgrading or installing fresh.

Yes. I get stuck when I choose which hard drive I want to install Windows in (the 'next' button is grayed out) View here: skydrive.live.com/…

If windows installation disk does not give you option for fresh install then you can try one of these 2 options: 1) start windows install after logging in to the existing installation (upgrade option) or - 2) use a live CD (linux or windows based) to first erase everything on disk or at least delete the partition table.

It occurs so because the Windows DVD was booted in UEFI mode. If you really want to keep your existing partitions, then switch your firmware to MBR/BIOS mode and retry the installation, it should allow you to install on your existing (MBR) volume.

In case your firmware does not have any such visible option, your next option is to launch the installation from the existing Home Premium Windows: just start the Setup executable and follow the screenss, it should figure out correctly the kind of installation (UEFI vs MBR) you are doing.

Another possibility which I have seen advised is to reburn the Windows DVD without the UEFI (0xEF) bootstrap; to answer kreemoweet's question, this is quite likely the way it HomePremium was installed in factory in the first place: the firmware favours UEFI over BIOS when it sees both bootblocks, as is the case of the retail DVD, but will use whatever is proposed if only one of them is given; and the way Windows is started (UEFI, resp. BIOS) directs the kind of partitioning is acceptable (GPT, resp. MBR) to install Windows x64.
